Strawflower – Burned Blue
Strawflower has had a number of strong releases this year but this perhaps takes the cake as our favorite so far. Their latest single Burned Blue has a certain weight to it–even more than the already great output from this Socal indie phenom. The song paints an array of emotions in a way that’s almost […]
Family Video – Problem With My Heart
Family Video is a seven-piece electronic synthpunk outfit based out of Charlotte, NC. Their latest single Problem With My Heart shows the band going further and adding a new dimension to their already stacked skillset. This track is a marriage of darkwave and dancy-indie-pop, which already draws a certain curiosity and intrigue. Its groove is […]
Hays Dowdy – Inside The City
There’s something quite unique about Hays Dowdy and their latest single Inside the City that feels quite refreshing. The song is bright and optimistic, depicting a city full of warm and lovely people who’re there to welcome you with open arms to the party. This is probably the first time we’ve heard of alt-rock being […]
Native Speaker – Aquatherapeutic
Take a sonic dip into the pristine waters of Aquatherapeutic–the latest single from post-punk outfit Native Speaker. The band consists of members across Europe, who rose together from the ashes of the three piece band Waterwork in late 2022. After some time honing their sound, they emerged as a four-piece with an atmospheric, psychedelic, post-punk […]
Centrifuge – The Spell
Be bound by the alt-rock awesomeness of Centrifuge through their latest single The Spell. This bluesy-rock banger is filled with mystique and magic, where we find its narrator waking up one day to notice that he’s suddenly ended up in hell. They slip into this ghostly figure, walking through the living with none of their […]
Maru Haru – To the Strongest
Austin-based indie band Maru Haru display their mastery over blending orchestral, electronic, and folk styles with their newest single, “To the Strongest”. Dreamy piano chords start the song off, placing us in a dreamlike state that leaves us wanting more. It slowly builds up through little pops of synth that enhance the sound further, then […]

Genre-bending artist Your Best Nightmare’s first full-length, horror-inspired album, “Presents: A Simple Solution for Toxic Masculinity” challenges the domination of the patriarchy through its magical fusion of punk, folk, pop, and art rock, perfectly captured in a macabre tale. The album’s first track, titled “Promising Young Woman” is the perfect prologue to the story, introducing […]

This song features the love of the band for music and cryptocurrency which was expressed with such vigor through the lyrics. Full of […]

Klen – Compendium/Consortium
Klen is my introduction to the freakbeat side of British punk and I’m absolutely hooked. Their latest single Compendium/Consortium is a dizzying, hypnotizing experience with an edgy groove that’s impossible to resist. They’ve captured the right amount of balance between grittiness and reverb, giving the song a foreboding and sinister mood that leaves a lot […]
Edie Yvonne – Fade Into You
Edie Yvonne releases another marvelous cover, one that has huge importance in her career and trajectory in the song Fade Into You. Originally by late 80’s alt-rock outfit Mazzy Star, this song was sung by Yvonne when she was 10 years old at the once Bootleg theater at Anna Bulbrook’s Girl School festival. Since that […]
